Sotto 13 has been on my list for a while after my friend told me that it's his favorite brunch spot and I can see why! First off, Sotto 13 is hidden away in one of quieter brownstone covered streets. The interior is warm and beautiful, with lots of natural sunlight. Looks aside, Sotto 13 offers a social brunch for $35/person. Everyone at the table is required to participate and it comes with one wood-fired pizza, two brunch plates, one side, and cocktails for the table. Not a bad deal since it comes with alcohol and each dish a la carte is around $15. Once I had brunch plans solidified, I immediately made reservations several days earlier via Yelp. I would definitely recommend making reservations as the restaurant was fully packed with people still waiting towards the end of their brunch hours. My friend and I weren't feeling the social brunch as we both had big dinner plans. Instead, we opted to share two dishes. Fortunately, all of their social brunch items are available a la carte so we ordered the shroom pizza and the focaccia french toast. The shroom pizza was the real winner! The crust was thin and crispy, with a nice char from the wood-fired oven. The cheese was super ooey-gooey and topped with lots of minced mushroom and truffle oil. The focaccia french toast was just alright for me. I'm not a sweet breakfast person to begin with, but I found the french toast to be too dense. Think banana bread consistency, but in a french toast form. Next time, I would pass on this. Overall, my friend and I had a great time at Sotto 13! Our server was friendly and helpful, the prices are extremely fair for what you get, and the ambiance is perfect for brunching. I can't wait to come back to try their other pizza and dishes! read more

Always very solid. Tasty food, excellent and kind service, not too crazy prices. I will be back.

I've been here multiple times in the past but never for their social brunch and I'm so glad I finally got to try it! I celebrated my 24th birthday here with my friends and we did the pre fixe menu. All the entrees were delicious and the bacon was perfectly crispy. The pineapple margaritas were also so good and the servers kept the drinks flowing - all I could ask for! Rich is truly a gem (if you're reading this, thank you so much) and makes planning an event as easy as pie! Would highly recommend coming here for a birthday brunch, celebration, etc! read more

Brunch is phenomenal, especially the pizza and margs! Deal was great! Service was great! Loved the environment! read more

Went here for my birthday brunch after having frustrating issue at a different restaurant, and this restaurant was able to seat my party of 5 right away. The food is great and you can't be their brunch deals. Try the double marg: pizza and drinks :) read more

We made a reservation for 15 people the day before. They called and I confirmed it at 1pm the day of the reservation. At 6pm they texted me and said that I had my reservation at 8pm that night. When we showed up, they said they had no reservation. They said they called me this afternoon but I didn't pickup, so it was cancelled. However, I had spoke to them on the phone confirming that day, and a had gotten a text reminding me of the reservations 2 hours before. They made us stand outside for 30 minutes, then said that we would either have to sit outside or wait another 40 minutes. It was 55 degrees outside. We did it. They split us into two groups and sat us in the cold. Then, they didn't even serve us all our food at the same time. Two rigatoni's took an extra 10 minutes to come out even though the rest of us had our food served to us already. I will not be back. Bad customer service and inner communication. Happy birthday to me. read more

I enjoyed an excellent brunch for a friends birthday here! We did the brunch deal which is $37, A STEAL!! You get to choose 1 pizza dish, 2 brunch dishes, and 1 side. They bring it all out according to the amount of people in your reservation and you share the plates. Plenty of food! They also allow you to choose 1 drink carafe per 2 people. You can always add on additional drinks but I liked that it wasn't too rowdy like some bottomless brunch spots. Would highly recommend, our waiter was very sweet too! read more

Via 13 - Shroom Pizza and Focaccia French Toast - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

This place is really great for large groups, the prixe fixed menu is $35 per person for a lot of food and a lot of drinks. For the starter, we chose the Portobello pizza, which was by far the highlight of the meal. It was delicious, probably one of the best brunch pizzas I've had. The mushrooms and truffle oil pair so well together. We ordered the Foccacia French Toast and the Tuscan Egg. I wasn't the biggest fan of the french toast because it had rosemary in it. The Tuscan Egg had a chickpea base, so if you like that then you'll enjoy this dish. As for the side we got crispy potatoes. The serving sizes were huge and there was plenty to go around for our table of 6. It was decently priced and very delicious. We also were able to get 3 pitchers. Highly recommend this place for group settings. read more

Had celebrated my friends birthday with Sotto13; and can't even begin to tell you how great of a group dining experience they put together. The events team; Rogelio and Tatiana were great; and very patient with all my emails! The wait staff day of the event was so attentive and accommodating for everything. Our waiter always made sure the Prosecco was full at our table. Everything that we ate was amazing; the Nutella donuts, the pizz, frittatas - but then waffle BLTs were the best thing! the Prosecco trays were such a hit with our group - it's a must if you do the boozy brunch! We did the 3pm seating; which was perfect to roll right into happy hour and stay at their location and just move to the front bar. Even their happy hour is great; and so easy with a big group! read more

Had a retirement party. The food and great service was outstanding. Everyone had a great time and were beyond satisfied with the food. I will definitely visit again. Keep up the great job, please do not change. read more

Very small dining room but this place seemed to empty completely out and fill back up again. We were surprised by how much food we got for the price. The mussels had a sauce where it's almost required to have a piece of bread to dip, it was that good. The salad was big enough for 2-3 people and maybe 4 if you order another app. The gnocchi had one of the best sauces I have ever had. One thing we noticed is the pizza looked amazing and it seems that's what others were having. I think we might be back for that and the mussels at some point. read more

We had a 20 person rehearsal dinner at Sotto 13 and everything was amazing. The service was spectacular. The team at Sotto 13 had great communication for the entire planning of the event. I got great compliments from every guest about how excellent the food was. Would highly recommend this location to anyone and will be dining there again in the future. read more

This place is under what seems to be a residential building. The atmosphere overall is pretty lively and somewhat romantic during the night. They have candles on the tables, but it's very loud because of all the parties that seem to congregate here. I ordered the carbonara. It was extremely rich and really needed some black pepper or salt. The pancetta was not that flavourful and the peas were hard to pick up with a forkful of twirled pasta. Overall, it was a bit expensive for how it tasted but the portion was way too much for one person. The meatballs were really good. They were nearly the same price as a plate of pasta, but they were the most worth it dish. They were very tender so much so that they kind of melted in your mouth. Odd experience, but I really enjoyed that. The pizza was solid. It wasn't the best I've had but it was good for a shared appetizer. It was thin and it was so hot that the cheese and sauce slid off the slice when I picked it up. It ended up being around $160 for 4 people who each had their own plate and two appetizers to share. read more

Casual moderately priced italian place with good drinks and food. Especially loved the mushroom pizza. Hanger steak was a standout as well. Service was excellent. Food came out very quickly but didn't feel rushed because they let us take our time ordering in between courses. Tables were well spaced out indoors. Good for groups. read more

Everything we ordered was amazing. We shared the meatballs, arancini, burrata, and spicy sausage pizza. The meatballs had great flavor and the sauce was really good. The burrata was good, but on the smaller size. The arancini was good, but I probably wouldn't get it again because it had too much saffron in it. The pizza was great, although it looks much bigger in pictures than in person. I would definitely recommend. read more

Sotto13 is truly a West Village gem. Our family tried several different offerings (arancini, Caesar salad, pomodoro pasta, margherita pizza, Brussels sprouts with bacon, roasted chicken, chocolate cake...). Each dish was special; fresh ingredients and creative surprises made for an utterly delicious meal. The Italian red perfectly paired with the pasta, as did the creamy cappuccino with our dessert. The service was stellar, as well. We will be back! read more

I came here for a cousins dinner/birthday celebration. It was perfect! The front bar gets super noisy, but the back dinning room has a great vibe, with funky lighting and a beautiful sky light. We sat at a big round table and had plenty of room for the tons of food we ordered to share. The wait staff was very friendly and super attentive. Once we ordered the food came out SO QUICKLY. Like Chinese take out quickly. And it was DELISH. We got 2 apps, a pasta, 3 pizzas and a bottle of wine. It was not only affordable, but probably a bit too much food. We ate EVERYTHING. I would definitely go back and eat there again, try more pastas and pizzas! read more

Aggressive impatient pushy waiters, average food, no prices on the menu for any of the beers, no beers on draft, overpriced, incorrect information provided by waiter on the sizing of portions of the food. The place wasn't even crowded and there were tables free but we were being rushed and pushed out. Waiter tries to up charge you and constantly come over before your drink is even finished. Overall a pretty crappy experience, so bad that one of my friends didn't want to order anything definitely wont be back. read more

excellent food, excellent service. pasta done perfectly, salad balanced sweet tart and salt, sausage and sauces spicy and seasoned, all textures were on point read more

This is the perfect place to throw a group dinner or brunch! They have an affordable pre-fixe and Rich + staff makes the entire experience very special. The food and wine are also great! Highly recommend!! read more

I came back to Sotto for boozy brunch with friends. Not sure if there has been a change or if I remembered incorrectly but there is no longer a bottomless option. The prefix is a few entrees, pizza pie, and sides to share for the whole table. This comes with a choice of drinks as well (a pitcher per 2 ppl). The food was all pretty tasty and the portions were plentiful. The one downside were the drink pitchers, which were on the smaller side and filled with too much ice (our red wine sangria was light pink in color). I'd still recommend coming here for the table sharing options as it is great for a big group of people. The restaurant is also in a very beautiful part of West Village and has great natural light on the inside. read more

I was planning a group brunch for over 50 guests for my son's baptism and Rich (from Sotto13) and his team delivered! He was quick to respond, easy to coordinate with, and his team of servers and the chef were accommodating and very helpful towards the whole process. The food was fantastic, the setting was intimate and everyone in the party had a great time. We opted for family serving so that the tables can share food and stories at the same time. read more

Came here this past weekend for a bachelorette brunch and it was a spot on experience, we were all in agreement that it was our favorite activity of the weekend. If you have more than 8 people in your party, you have to book through the large party guest portal, which requires a 25% deposit prior to the event. Rich, the Events Manager, was a great host and was able to answer all of questions prior to and during the event. We selected all of our menu options prior to the event and decided on the shroom pizza, french toast, and eggs benedict. There are plenty of substitutions available for the entrees, as well as options for vegan guests as well. It also came with a brunch starter (nutella stuffed donut holes - delicious!), + a 2 sides of bacon and rosemary potatoes. We had 90 minutes for bottomless drinks and plenty of food to go around - even had some leftover! Everything was served family style, and we definitely got our money's worth when it came to the drinks. We also paid $10 extra per person for the craft your own prosecco cocktail tray, which was a great deal and made the experience all the more unique. All in all, atmosphere was classy and perfect for a bachelorette party. The servers were extremely attentive and quick to bring us replacement champagne anytime we asked. I will definitely be back again soon! read more

Popping in at 5pm to meet my cousin for Happy Hour. We grabbed a table at the booth part of the happy hour section and basically sat there for the next 3 hours. HH runs from 5-7 and features 2 for $13 select cocktails, 2 for $13 select wines, and 2 for $10 select beers. There's also a nibbles menu. Pizzas range from $12-$13. We both did the 2 for $13 deal once each and then split a 3rd round, for a total of 3 drinks. I had the same thing every time - their seasonal mule, which was really good. We also split 2 pizzas - the Margherita and the Mushroom. Both were really good, but I think I prefer the mushroom. Service was awesome the entire time. No one rushed us or pressured us to order more things. We just spent a solid 3 hours here catching up. The bartender even came around to do last call for HH, which is much appreciated. All in all, a great place to grab some drinks and pizza - if you get here early! read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon after a long walk on the high line. We arrived after 3pm and it was still brunch but we were able to just order a la carte. The waiters were changing shifts so they weren't very attentive. We order the pizza and my husband loved it... now me on the other hand have had better. It was a great place to visit and if your around definitely worth the try. The decor is beautiful. read more

If something works well, why fuck with it? (that's the Engineer in me, speaking) $35 - for a small pizza, 2 small entrees and a mimosa carafe. This def ain't no boozy brunch spot no mo'. It used to be...read my previous reviews. I probably won't return. read more

Went for brunch. The service was quick, but it was almost like they were trying to rush you out. Maybe because it was towards the end of their brunch service. The menu was a little confusing. We arrived thinking it was a bottomless mimosa brunch, but really you get one carafe which is really small btws. You have the option to order a bottle of champagne for $75 and a flight of mixers to accompany it for $25 I believe, but at that point you might as well go somewhere else and grab a cocktail. The food was ok, we had a prosciutto pizza, interesting frittata with peas and the smoked salmon toast which was my favorite. The best thing about this place was the ambiance and location. I would pop in again for a drink, however I'm not sure about the food. read more

A lovely brunch spot with a cozy and bright interior. Sotto 13 seems to be known for their social brunch which is $35 per person and your table gets all of this: one wood fired pizza, two brunch plates, one side and drinks. Seems like a pretty good deal to me. My friend and I came for brunch with a reservation for a late Saturday afternoon and we were seated in the dining area past the pizza kitchen where there's tons of sunlight from the sky window. Neither of us were too hungry so we decided to order a la carte. The first of the two things we shared was the Wild Mushroom Pizza and it was amazing! The pizza had a delicate and crispy crust and the cheese was super creamy. Each mouthful I had was bursting with a rich mushroom flavor from the finely chopped mushrooms and the truffle oil. I would order this again! The Focaccia French Toast was lovely. It's unlike any other french toast I've had. Firstly, it's a lot denser than regular french toast. Secondly, it's made with rosemary which added a whole dimension of flavor. I loaded mine with the vanilla creme fraiche, which lifted all the flavors and helped to cut the density of the french toast. Overall, the ambiance and food were both impressive here. When we got our bill, we were surprised at how affordable our meal was even though we ordered a la carte, so that's a plus! I highly recommend checking out the brunch here. read more

I came here for brunch on a Sunday and was with a group of 9. The waiter was nice and let us pick out a bunch of different carafes to try - I stuck with the fuzzy navels, which I don't see on menus often, and they were delicious! We chose the prociutto di parma as our pizza option, the focaccia french toast and the eggs benedict for our brunch plates, and crispy potatoes for the side. Everything tasted amazing, and it was plenty of food for our group for the price. Will definitely go back in the future! read more

Dined here the other night and really enjoyed the meal! Interior is cute and a great place for a dinner with friends. We ordered the burrata, arugula salad, margherita pizza, pasta pomodoro, mushroom pasta, and the Lemon crema brûlée. The food was really tasty! We loved everything we ordered. The dessert was VERY lemony so if you don't like that, wouldn't suggest it. I'd definitely be back here again! read more

I went to this restaurant for brunch with my friends, the restaurant was clean and deco was very nice however we called prior our visit to make sure the brunch included bottomless mimosas, when we got there we were told the brunch wasn't bottomless, the food was overall good but the prices were a little high for the quality, I asked the manager if I could plug my phone because my phone was dying and i was told that they couldn't do so ( a good way to loose a customer ) also the staff were rushing us to leave, not a pleasant experience.

This was the first time at Sotto 13 and we had a great dinner tonight Sara was a great Server. She was very pleasent and attentive...Thank you Sara! I had the stuffed leg of lamb and broccoli rabe and I have tio say the lamb was out of this work. My girlfriend had the brick oven margarita pizza and it was so delicious. The sauce was superb! We would definitely go back to Sotto 13 when we visit NYC again. The only reason I could not give Sotto 13 five stars is because it seemed a little dark in the resturant and we had to use the light from our phones to read the menu read more

Wow, one of the best bolognese pastas I've ever had! It was so good, I actually ordered a second one! I came in around 7:15 and the front area with the bar was really loud. I hate loud restaurants so I was a bit worried, but the back dining room was much quieter. Dining room is pretty; place has a cool vibe. I will definitely definitely be back. Oh, and I didn't try them, but they had frose and frosecco. read more

Via 13 - Grandma's bolognese - delicious! - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Solid place for pizza and appetizers. In an unassuming location on 13th Street, Sotto 13 seems to have 2 personalities: a hoppin' happy hour place in the front, and a very elegant, dimly-lit space in the back. Business in the back, party in the front, so to say. The current executive chef is Patty Vega, who was a contestant on one of the more recent seasons of Top Chef. She may not have won her season, but you couldn't tell that from all the great food we had. As for food, the crispy pig's feet bites, the spicy capicola pizza and the pork shank are the things to get here. The pig's feet bites are small, meaty nuggets filled with shredded pork, in a slightly sweet sauce, and very tasty. The caramelized onions on the spicy capicola pizza really mellow out the overall flavors from the spicy capicola, and the crusts are thin and super crispy, which provide a great texture. Also, in my opinion, the pizzas are definitely big enough for 2 people, although why not get an appetizer with it as well? As for the pork shank, the portion is huge, and it's just fatty enough to be decadent without being overly greasy. Pretty good deal at about $22. I'd recommend staying away from the pastas, as the carrot cavatelli had a good flavor, but the texture was just a little too dense for my liking, just a bit chewier than most cavatelli. Service is pretty attentive, although the hostess both times was pretty adamant about not letting us sit, even though the majority of the party was present, AND the back area was completely empty, save for one table. I can understand if they don't seat incomplete parties if the place is crowded and there's a long queue, but when more than half the place is empty, it seems pretty pointless. Prices here are very reasonable, and if you come during happy hour, their cocktails are half off, and very delicious. As I mentioned before, the pork shank is a very good value, as you would find something of similar size for almost twice the price elsewhere. Will definitely be back for happy hour and such. Reservations are relatively easy to come by, so even if you can't find space in the front bar area, you can likely find a table in the back. read more

Sotto 13 is a neighborhood GEM. The food is incredible, and everyone who works here is so warm, compassionate, and friendly.

Dined here yesterday as it was close to our hotel. Great service. Great Food. Would definitely go back our next time in the city.

Not bottomless but loved the family style serving so you get to try a bit of everything! For $39 per person it made for a really filling yet delicious brunch. It was easy to make reservations for 2 for brunch and when we got there around 1130 it was pretty empty out front. Service was quick and they were attentive - looking to help/recommend if needed. We got the shroom pizza, black currant French toast, crispy potatoes, and seasonal margarita (pineapple). Everything was so good and fresh, portioned enough for two people. Would come back to try the other menu items and drinks! read more
